1. I'm a soldier, znatchit ya...
I'm a soldier, and that means...
Copy !req
2. I otvetchik I sud'ya
that I am both defendant and judge.
Copy !req
3. Ya stoyu na dvuh kontsah ognya
I stand at both ends of the fire.
Copy !req
4. Ogibaya virazhi,
Leaning into the curves,
Copy !req
5. obgonyaya smert' I zhizn',
overtaking life and death,
Copy !req
6. ya begu srazit'sya s ten'yu lzhi
I'm running to fight the shadow of lies.
Copy !req
7. Skol'ko b nitej ne plyol obman,
No matter how tangled the web of deception is woven,
Copy !req
8. pokazhet lik sveta istina...
truth will always illuminate the outline of the light...
Copy !req
9. Save your tears for the day...
Copy !req
10. when the pain is far behind.
Copy !req
11. On your feet, come with me.
Copy !req
12. We are soldiers, stand or die.
Copy !req
13. Save your fears, take your place.
Copy !req
14. Save them for the Judgment Day.
Copy !req
15. Fast and free, follow me.
Copy !req
16. Time to make the sacrifice.
Copy !req
17. We rise or fall...
Copy !req
18. Off to the ladies' room?
Copy !req
19. Looks that way.
Copy !req
20. Do we go after her?
Copy !req
21. Hang on a second.
Copy !req
22. The bathroom's walls and floor
are fully tiled.
Copy !req
23. The windows are fixed fittings
and have aluminum bars on the outside.
Copy !req
24. I think she could break them easily, but she
probably won't do anything that rough.
Copy !req
25. It's an oven
out here...
Copy !req
26. Here's a souvenir.
Copy !req
27. A beer?
Copy !req
28. Must be nice, being able to break down
alcohol in your internal plants...
Copy !req
29. Still, don't you think that the difficulty level
of this test for new recruits is a little off?
Copy !req
30. Get serious.
Copy !req
31. If you can't beat something like this, it means
you don't have the right stuff as a trainee.
Copy !req
32. Well, yeah, but still...
Copy !req
33. - Batou.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
34. What's the situation
over there?
Copy !req
35. Reading the paper
and drinking some coffee.
Copy !req
36. Not you.
I meant them.
Copy !req
37. So did I.
Copy !req
38. They're totally relaxed.
Copy !req
39. Haven't they stopped to consider that they
may have been planted with false memories?
Copy !req
40. That's the first thing
I taught 'em how to spot.
Copy !req
41. How many
are left?
Copy !req
42. Six people
in three teams.
Copy !req
43. Let's move on
to the next set.
Copy !req
44. Roger.
Copy !req
45. Is this the last team?
Copy !req
46. Yeah, as much
as I hate to say it.
Copy !req
47. I'm sorry, sir!
I lost the target!
Copy !req
48. Did you now?
So, what's your next move?
Copy !req
49. We'll try doing another sweep
of the area...
Copy !req
50. You will, huh?
Well, good luck with that.
Copy !req
51. You're being a little hard
on them, aren't you?
Copy !req
52. What's the point of
feeling sorry for 'em?
Copy !req
53. Major, it's over.
Let's head back to the office.
Copy !req
54. Major?
Copy !req
55. Major?
Copy !req
56. I'm not getting through.
Copy !req
57. Think she got ticked off
and headed back?
Copy !req
58. Is this a hack?
Copy !req
59. Batou.
Copy !req
60. Batou?
Copy !req
61. So this really is
a hack...
Copy !req
62. I didn't feel anything slip past
my four layers of defense barriers.
Copy !req
63. If the trainees are behind this,
they're pretty impressive.
Copy !req
64. The Memory Store
Copy !req
65. So, this is the
finish line, huh?
Copy !req
66. What's this sensation?
Copy !req
67. The sensations being picked up by my skin's
touch receptors are definitely real...
Copy !req
68. But in spite of that, this whole thing
doesn't seem real at all...
Copy !req
69. Prosthetic bodies?
Copy !req
70. Aren't they adorable?
Copy !req
71. The children, I mean.
Copy !req
72. Do you run
this place?
Copy !req
73. Something like that.
Copy !req
74. What would you like me
to take care of for you?
Copy !req
75. Take care of?
Copy !req
76. That's right.
Copy !req
77. My customers leave their external
memories here, and I look after them.
Copy !req
78. All of the items here might seem to be
utterly worthless to another person,
Copy !req
79. but each and every one of them is stuffed
full of its owner's memories.
Copy !req
80. That's why I sometimes feel
as if I'm suffocating...
Copy !req
81. from the psychic imprint
that they give off.
Copy !req
82. Psychic imprint...
Copy !req
83. Were you drawn here
by them, too?
Copy !req
84. These are rare items, created back in
the early days of full prosthetic bodies.
Copy !req
85. The memories surrounding these two children
are always painful for me.
Copy !req
86. But at the same time, it also
allows me to experience...
Copy !req
87. the joy of looking after
the memories of others.
Copy !req
88. What sort of memories do
you sense between these...
Copy !req
89. Oh, dear, is it already
this late?
Copy !req
90. I'm terribly sorry,
but I'm closing early today.
Copy !req
91. Please drop by again
when you have time.
Copy !req
92. I'll tell you
all about them then.
Copy !req
93. Oh, now I get it...
Copy !req
94. That strange sensation...
It was nostalgia.
Copy !req
95. C'mon, big man.
Let's call it a night, too.
Copy !req
96. We can make our report
to the Major tomorrow.
Copy !req
97. Dammit, Major, don't disappear
on us like that.
Copy !req
98. Where the hell
have you been?
Copy !req
99. Oh, around.
Copy !req
100. So, how many applicants do we have who
look like they might make it onto the team?
Copy !req
101. There's just this one who came up
through GSDA Military Intelligence...
Copy !req
102. who was recommended by
that guy the Chief knows.
Copy !req
103. That's not very
reassuring...
Copy !req
104. I can't deny the lack
of quality material,
Copy !req
105. but one thing's for sure, and that's that we
have an urgent need for extra personnel.
Copy !req
106. But if we lower the difficulty any further,
all it'll do is weaken us overall.
Copy !req
107. So what do we do? Do follow-up
testing at some later date?
Copy !req
108. I'll talk it over with the Chief
and decide from there.
Copy !req
109. Hey, do you think I'm cut out
to be an instructor?
Copy !req
110. If you're not cut out for it,
then no one is.
Copy !req
111. I'm calling it
a day.
Copy !req
112. Hold the fort.
Copy !req
113. C'mon, don't worry
about it.
Copy !req
114. Even with me, before I came to Section 9,
the Major would've shaken me in five minutes.
Copy !req
115. What, seriously? I guess you work
at a fairly low level.
Copy !req
116. What's with you?
Copy !req
117. So are you saying that you
can stalk a target...
Copy !req
118. who can up and vanish
like the Major does?
Copy !req
119. Damn straight I can.
Copy !req
120. A waking dream?
Copy !req
121. I'm not sure, but it might've been
something more... spiritual than that.
Copy !req
122. Well, when I roll over
in my sleep,
Copy !req
123. I sometimes have an out-of-body experience
and see some pretty weird stuff...
Copy !req
124. Really?
Copy !req
125. So, have you ever sensed any psychic energy
from something that you own?
Copy !req
126. Well, I've had the sensation
of my car...
Copy !req
127. being an extension of my arms and legs while
I'm on a long drive, if that's what you mean.
Copy !req
128. Hey, why don't we call Courtin
and go crazy for once?
Copy !req
129. I'd better pass. There's something
that I have to do today.
Copy !req
130. What the hell is the Major doing, retracing
the same route she took yesterday?
Copy !req
131. Did she realize that
I was tailing her?
Copy !req
132. I've been waiting
for you.
Copy !req
133. I had a feeling that you would
be coming right about now.
Copy !req
134. Why's that?
Copy !req
135. Because these children were
getting tired of waiting, too.
Copy !req
136. Oh.
Copy !req
137. Then I'd like to get right to it
and hear about these kids.
Copy !req
138. My, but you're impatient...
Copy !req
139. All right.
Copy !req
140. These two prosthetic bodies were
kept carefully preserved by the boy,
Copy !req
141. who has now grown
into a man.
Copy !req
142. When the boy was six years old,
he was in a plane crash.
Copy !req
143. Apparently, it was a terrible accident in which
most of the passengers were killed.
Copy !req
144. I've heard that even those who were
rescued all died soon afterwards.
Copy !req
145. All except for this boy, and a girl who
happened to be in the seat next to him.
Copy !req
146. These two were miraculously spared,
but the girl never regained consciousness,
Copy !req
147. and the boy was completely paralyzed
except for his left arm.
Copy !req
148. When the boy's injuries were healed,
he instantly understood the situation he was in.
Copy !req
149. Such as the fact that his parents, who were
aboard the plane with him, were dead,
Copy !req
150. and why it was that his distant relatives,
who kindly came to visit him at first,
Copy !req
151. soon began to distance
themselves from him.
Copy !req
152. He tried as best he could to accept
all this in his young mind.
Copy !req
153. And then he began to think of the little girl
who was sleeping in the bed next to his,
Copy !req
154. this girl who was in the same straits as him,
as his only friend in the world.
Copy !req
155. "Please, let her
wake up."
Copy !req
156. He prayed that again and again
as he painstakingly continued...
Copy !req
157. to fold paper cranes
with his one good hand.
Copy !req
158. But then...
Copy !req
159. Something happened to the girl,
didn't it?
Copy !req
160. A while later, the girl's condition
took a sudden turn for the worse.
Copy !req
161. BP 60. No diastolic.
Copy !req
162. Give her one unit each
of lidocaine and epi!
Copy !req
163. I can't get
an ECF reading.
Copy !req
164. BP's down to 40.
Copy !req
165. Prep the OR immediately!
Copy !req
166. The next morning, the boy was told
that she had gone far away.
Copy !req
167. Two years passed.
Copy !req
168. He spoke to no one, simply spending
his days silently folding cranes.
Copy !req
169. It was almost as his continuing
to fold these cranes...
Copy !req
170. was a grave duty that
was assigned to him.
Copy !req
171. Did he say anything today?
Copy !req
172. Just that he wanted some
white origami paper.
Copy !req
173. Then one day, when all the legal proceedings
and so on from the crash were over,
Copy !req
174. one of the boy's relatives
arrived with a young doctor.
Copy !req
175. This is what they said
to the boy.
Copy !req
176. "If you're interested,"
Copy !req
177. "there is a treatment that will let us
completely replace your paralyzed body."
Copy !req
178. "Are you brave enough
to try it?"
Copy !req
179. "If it goes as planned, you'll be able to live
a normal life, just like you used to."
Copy !req
180. The boy didn't answer.
Copy !req
181. But it wasn't because the boy
wasn't brave enough.
Copy !req
182. Do you know why?
Copy !req
183. It was because the boy had no incentive
to want return to his old, normal life.
Copy !req
184. After all, the boy had no interest in anything
other than folding his cranes at this point.
Copy !req
185. And so, the adults around him
gave up on talking him into it.
Copy !req
186. But there was a little girl who gave him
the nudge he needed to open up.
Copy !req
187. Oh, that's who
this girl is.
Copy !req
188. Yes. This girl had already successfully
undergone the full prosthetics treatment.
Copy !req
189. I expect that the young doctor
introduced the two of them...
Copy !req
190. as a last resort to try
to convince the boy.
Copy !req
191. Apparently, the girl came
to see him every day.
Copy !req
192. She was a cheerful,
energetic girl.
Copy !req
193. Even though it must have been very hard
for her to get used to a full prosthetic body,
Copy !req
194. she never said a single word
about it to the boy.
Copy !req
195. Not only that, but when the topic came up,
she even recommended...
Copy !req
196. that the boy get a full
prosthetic body, as well.
Copy !req
197. The boy listened to her in silence,
but one day, he suddenly blurted out,
Copy !req
198. "Can you fold origami cranes
in your prosthetic body?"
Copy !req
199. "If you can do it, then I guess I wouldn't
mind getting a full prosthetic body, too."
Copy !req
200. But even though she could
support herself and move around,
Copy !req
201. she was still unable to convey commands
for subtle movements to her body.
Copy !req
202. Perhaps the little girl
didn't like to lose...
Copy !req
203. Apparently, she tried and tried
to fold a crane.
Copy !req
204. I think that the girl was a source
of hope for the little boy.
Copy !req
205. But they were both
still very young...
Copy !req
206. The boy became dejected,
and said,
Copy !req
207. "If I won't be able to fold cranes for the girl
who died, I'm okay with staying the way I am."
Copy !req
208. After that day, the boy
never saw the girl again.
Copy !req
209. She left, saying, "I'm going to
practice making origami cranes...
Copy !req
210. so I can fold them
for you, okay?"
Copy !req
211. Yes, she was the girl that he
had been convinced was dead.
Copy !req
212. Why didn't she
tell the boy this?
Copy !req
213. She must have had a very
pressing reason not to.
Copy !req
214. But that day, the boy made up his mind
to get a prosthetic body, too.
Copy !req
215. And he swore to himself
that he would go and see...
Copy !req
216. the girl who had vanished
from the hospital.
Copy !req
217. Some time later, the boy changed
into a full prosthetic body...
Copy !req
218. and endured the difficult
rehabilitation process,
Copy !req
219. and apparently grew up into
a first-rate prosthetic user.
Copy !req
220. Because there weren't many children
with full prosthetic bodies at that time,
Copy !req
221. it must have been more difficult
than anyone could imagine.
Copy !req
222. But when he thought of how that little girl
had endured the same suffering,
Copy !req
223. he was able to
overcome it easily.
Copy !req
224. So tell me,
did he find the girl?
Copy !req
225. A girl with a full prosthetic body
who had been in a plane crash...
Copy !req
226. You would think that that would have
been enough of a clue to go on.
Copy !req
227. But he wasn't able
to find the girl.
Copy !req
228. Where did he find the girl's
prosthetic body, then?
Copy !req
229. Apparently, he found it being preserved as
a specimen while he was at a lab in college.
Copy !req
230. He knew at once that it was
the girl he was looking for,
Copy !req
231. but he could never track down the girl herself,
who had swapped into a larger body.
Copy !req
232. That's why memories I get from the girl
are completely blank even now.
Copy !req
233. What about the boy?
Is he...
Copy !req
234. In the closing days of the war, he was
shipped out overseas and never returned.
Copy !req
235. He hasn't come back here since then,
so I suppose it's possible that he's dead.
Copy !req
236. Oh...
Copy !req
237. Thanks for telling me
the story.
Copy !req
238. I bet that even now, the girl is still searching
for the first boy she ever loved.
Copy !req
239. The first boy she
ever loved?
Copy !req
240. The ice in your iced tea
has melted.
Copy !req
241. Yeah, I know.
Copy !req
242. What's up?
Copy !req
243. Well, it's about the test
for the recruits...
Copy !req
244. I wanna rethink the difficulty setting,
and let 'em have another try.
Copy !req
245. What do you think?
Copy !req
246. What brought this on?
Copy !req
247. Nothing, really.
Copy !req
248. I was just remembering how I didn't have
my act together when I first joined up, either,
Copy !req
249. and I got chewed out by
my commanding officer.
Copy !req
250. Why not? Maybe nobody can
do things well right off the bat.
Copy !req
251. Yeah.
Copy !req
252. It takes a load off my mind
to hear you say that.
Copy !req
253. Finding out a galaxy...
Copy !req
254. of planets and stars within me...
Copy !req
255. Listening to each of them...
Copy !req
256. singing the same silent melody...
Copy !req
257. I've never seen such beauty...
Copy !req
258. In possibility...
Copy !req
259. No speck of doubt or fear...
Copy !req
260. Wake up!
Copy !req
261. I hear a voice,
Copy !req
262. hear a voice calling out to me...
Copy !req
263. I see inside,
Copy !req
264. see the light now ever holding me...
Copy !req
265. All the truth, all I need...
Copy !req
266. to make of this reality, it's inside...
Copy !req
267. The beauty within the shell...
Copy !req
268. I hear a voice,
Copy !req
269. hear a voice calling out to me...
Copy !req
270. I see inside,
Copy !req
271. see the light now ever holding me...
Copy !req
272. All the truth, all I need...
Copy !req
273. to make of this reality, it's inside...
Copy !req
274. Right here within the shell...
Copy !req
